A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 248
Thankfully, Arielle stepped in to save the salesman. “Mister, we’ve called you here today to uncover the truth. As long as you’re honest, nobody can send you to jail.”
Arielle, with her beautiful and gentle eyes, was a stark contrast to Mason. The salesman immediately calmed himself down and nodded his thanks.
“Do you remember Ms. Actonward? Did she buy a black evening gown from your shop?” Arielle asked.
“Yes. Ms. Actonward is our shop’s regular and also a VIP. Two days ago, she bought a black evening gown from us. I remember it well because it was one size smaller than her usual sizing. She said it was for a friend and had me send it directly to the address she gave. I did as told and have no idea what happened after.”
Glancing at Mason, the salesman added, “Everything I’ve said is the truth. You can hold me responsible for it.”
“What do you have to say now, Mason?” Arielle asked with raised brows.
Mason took a while to collect his thoughts
before replying, “He could still be lying about it. Bribe him with enough money, and he might be willing to risk going to jail over a false statement.”
Just then, the salesman butted in, “I have other evidence to prove that I wasn’t lying!”
No matter what it took, he was going to prove that he was telling the truth. No way am I going to jail for something I didn‘t do!
The salesman walked to the housekeeper and took the slip of paper from him. “This is the receipt that has the member and credit card details. Not only will you find Ms. Actonward’s name, but you’ll also find her signature.”
Mason was about to verify the receipt’s authenticity when Russell beat him to it.
A few seconds later, Russell’s expression changed drastically
He recognized the card instantly because it was the supplementary card he had gotten for Yvette.
Besides, he was so familiar with her signature that there was no way he could
have mistaken it.
Yvette‘s responsible for everything!
“D*mn that child!” Russell snapped, his eyes blazing with anger. How he wished he could have another fainting spell to hide from the ugly truth. The pain and shame were just too much to endure.
Russell’s reaction was all the crowd needed to know that the salesman hadn’t been lying.
Yvette had bought the gown to frame Arielle, which almost drove her father to his death.
Her actions were so vicious it was almost unbelievable.
Russell might be better off with a venomous pet snake than Yvette. Snakes at least knew not to bite their owners, but Yvette had shown that she would stop at nothing to achieve her goals, even if it meant hurting her family.
To put it simply, she was worse than a snake.
Right at that moment, Yvette was hurriedly making her way down the stairs.
After hearing from Clara that her father was marrying her off to Mason, Yvette had thrown caution to the wind and rushed to find Russell.
In her hurry, Yvette failed to notice how everyone in the hall was giving her odd looks. Her only goal was to get to Russell before it got too late.
As soon as she saw Russell, Yvette cried out, “Dad, I don’t want to marry Mason!”
Mason stiffened momentarily before whispering, “Yvette, now’s not the time to talk about that, you…”
“Shut up!”
It had come to a point where Yvette found Mason so revolting that she couldn’t stand to look at his face nor listen to his voice.
If only I could go back in time and prevent this ugly monster from touching me! I‘m too good for him!
Mason was neither blind nor dumb. He
could see from Yvette’s eyes just how much contempt she had for him.
The pain he felt from being snubbed was so overwhelming that it left him speechless.
